` "1 claim. (o1. 131--19'n` The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in tobacco pipes, and has for its primary object'to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set iorth, a device of this character embodying a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts through the medium of which the temperature of the smoke is re-l duced before reaching the mouth of the smoker. Another important object or" the invention is to prevent the entrance ol tobacco juices into the mouth.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a tobacco pipe of the aforementioned character which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly efcient and reli-` `Figure l is a longitudinal transverse sectional` View of my invention. i.

`.Figure 2 is a fragmentary top plan View of the invention.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view in transverse section taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the reference numeral 5 designates the bowl of a pipe, which may be of wood or any other suitable material. The chamber 6 of the bowl 5 is enlarged as at l to provide a horizontal shoulder ll. Notches 9 are formed, in the side wallof vthe chamber E and extend downwardly from the shoulder to form shoulders Ill. The bowl 5 has extending therefrom theusual stem I I through which thesmoke duct l2 passes.

A cup shaped partition E3 constructed of metal or other ,suitable material has formed on its upper end portion lugs lil which engage in the notches 9 for supporting the partition within the bowl 5 in spaced relation thereto.

A tobacco receiving bowl I5 constructed of clay, Wood or other suitable material has formed at its upper end portion a flange I6 which seats in the enlarged portion l and. rests on the shoulder 8, to support it in the cup-shaped partition E3 .in spaced relation thereto. The bottom of the tobacco bowl l5 has openings I'I therein through which the smoke passes when the pipe `is in use. The bottom face of the flange I6 is in a` plane slightly above the plane of the upper end of the cup-shaped partition to provide a draft passage I8. l

The smoke duct I2 in the stem ll is enlarged as at I9 to receive one end lportion 2o of the mouth piece 2 I. The mouth piece 2l has a smoke 22 duct extending therethrough which communicates, with the smoke duct I2 in the stem Il. A recess 23 is formed in the end portion 2i! of the mouth piece 2l to provide a trap for tobacco juices which may collect in the enlarged portion I9 of the duct EI.

When the pipe is in use, smoke is `drawn through the openings I'l into the space between the cup-shaped partition I3 and tobacco bowl I5. The smoke then passes through thepassage Ill, and down around the cup-shaped partition I3, through the space between the cup-shaped partition lt and the bowl 5, and into the smokers mouth through the smoke ducts. l! and 22. As the smoke passes between the tobacco bowl I5 and cup-shaped partition I3 it is cooled with the result of condensation of tobacco juices therefrom, thus affording the smoker cool dry smoke, as the tobacco juices are trapped in the bottom of the cup-shaped partition lil. When the smoker desires to drain the cup-shaped partition the tobacco bowl I5 is removed. and` the pipe is inverted.

Although I have shown and described herein a preferred embodiment of my invention,`it is to be definitely understood that I do not desire to limit the application of the invention thereto, and any change or changes may be made in the materials and in the structure and arrangement of the parts within the spirit of the invention as claimed.

`What is claimed is:

A tobacco pipe comprising anfouter bowl, a stem connected with the bottom portion of the bowl, the upper end of the bowl having an internal annular groove therein, the bottom of spaced from the lower face ofthe 'ange `of `the inner bowl to space the upper end of the partition from the under face of said flange to permit smoke to pass from the interior of the partition over the upper end thereof and then downwardly between the partition and the outer bowl.
